Can I wear this Satin Dress to a Wedding. Husband says no. I feel stunning in it, and think it is ok to wear.

Opinion needed. I got gifted this dress for Christmas it's a bit tight as it is my pre baby size, but it somehow makes me look smaller than I am.

It is cinched on my waist and then flows into a fitted skirt. I feel confident in it. I feel like me again. I have been desperate to wear it since I got it but we never go out.

It's my husband's best friend's wedding in February. He is one of the best men. I am not in the wedding so I wont be in any of the pictures or anything like that.

Husband isn't happy about me wearing it. Is it reasonable to wear it? I never go out and I think we will be having another baby by the end of the year so I wont get another chance to wear this beautiful dress. I also dont want to go out and buy another dress when I have been gifted this one and it is sitting in my wardrobe.

It is white at the bottom but clearly with the black lace top it is not a wedding dress. Be honest please.

"I'm out on the town" dress.....not wedding dress. HTH.

Deleted - comment went on the wrong post. Why does this keep happening to me???

Absolutely not, the wedding dress tail and the very low cut backless top is just not appropriate for someone else’s wedding.

Their wedding isn’t about you, so pick something else.

No. It looks like underwear and it is white. Totally inappropriate but you must know that, right?

Due to colour etc. I would agree it's not appropriate for a wedding.

Could you perhaps ask your MIL to help you pick a new dress? She might be able to find you something you love as much that's more appropriate.

Too much skin on the show,looks like a night gown-no.

I think it would look great with a short fur jacket.
I don’t get all this angst about wedding attire, in reality nobody really cares. I couldn’t tell you what guests were wearing to weddings I’ve attended.
However, it is very low cut and tight so I think you would have to be thin and toned for it to look good.
Flat chested too as otherwise it’s far too booby.
It isn’t all white and as you spend most of the time sat down, people won’t see white, they will see black, and lots of flesh unless you wear a jacket.
Mist people don’t get married in church now so that won’t be an issue.
I do think you need a night out though op so that you can wear the dress.

It’s not ‘1950s’ to have the grace to realize that the bride should be the centre of attention at her wedding. It’s kind and polite.

It's definitely not an appropriate dress for a wedding guest. MIL can watch the baby while your DH takes you out for a romantic dinner in your dress.

Problem is, with a jacket hiding the black top you will just see the white satin skirt and then it really will look like she’s wearing a wedding dress.

It's so weird that your MIL knows your body so well to get you such a skimpy dress. Cash or gold would be more useful than dresses that you have nowhere to wear them to.

I find it so weird that a minority say yes it's fine. The fact that so many say it is not is the clear answer. There will presumably be many guests at the wedding so if 94% here think the dress is inappropriate you can guarantee it will be seen negatively by a significant number. Even if the bride thinks it's the most amazing idea of all time (please don't put her in an awkward spot by asking) doesn't it matter if the other guests disagree? You'd look absolutely attention seeking at any wedding I've been to.

It’s a no from me, I think it looks too bridal (in a thoroughly modern way). Love the dress though, book something fancy to do for Valentine’s Day?

Great dress, really stunning, but it's black tie or evening wear. Some very glam weddings so follow that dress code, but there is a lot of white, and it is a very glam dress, so I could see an emo/goth/rocker story of bride wearing this.

And i bet you she will ignore us all and wear it to the wedding anyway.

Beautiful dress but definitely not suitable for a wedding. Far too much white and a bit revealing.

Tbh the website looks dodgy & chat gpt has got to be involved.

Definitely not suitable - the long white satin skirt means if you wear a jacket over the top for it to be less “cocktail” and less revealing and more appropriate for a wedding you could be mistaken for the bride wearing a jacket because she is cold (ok most brides wouldn’t do this but it’s not the point - it’s far too much plain white).

Even if it had been a different colour combination, eg blue and black (and not clashed with bridesmaids colours) it would still be unsuitable for a wearing without a jacket over top half until late in the evening (eg after dinner, speeches, first dances because it’s very very evening / cocktail wear, it’s not a nice or formal daytime outfit

Absolutely inappropriate for a wedding. But you're ignoring the unanimous 'No' from everyone and just listing the reasons you want to wear it, so I'm not sure why you asked.

The poor bride.

Red carpet yes, wedding no...but I suspect that this is a wind up

Agree it looks like a nightgown. I actually don’t like the dress, the black and white cut in the middle like that gives it more of a skirt and top look to the eye - which doesn’t work well with the two polar tones.

Still it’s 80% white satin. To someone else’s wedding that’s criminal, even if you did forgive the tight, plunging cut of it.

With respect the wedding isn’t about you , it’s far too look at me and inappropriate.

Why don’t you see if there are any events on near you such as charity ball, dinner and dance type thing. Hotels and bistros etc often have them for Valentine’s Day.

Are you likely to upstage the bride? If yes then don’t wear it.

Is your husband also going in fancy dress as a vicar? If so, it's perfect.
